amateur theatreVictoria Hall ADS are part of the Bolton Amateur Dramatics scene and based in the town centre of Bolton. We’re also a member of B.A.T.S. (Bolton Amateur Theatre Societies) and closely linked to many members from other groups.

Victoria Hall itself is actually a Christian Church which is part of the Bolton Methodist Mission. With kind permission, the church allowed many of its congregation to use the lower hall to perform plays and pantos. Although the exact date the amateur dramatic group started is unknown, you can check out the history here.

The performances at the hall consists of a play once a year, normally during May and Panto during January. As a Thank You to the Church, the group put together a performance based on a religious theme selected by the congregation of the church. This is performed early September in the main church.

To stage the shows, there are different things to consider to make the show work. From set building to lighting, there are different elements to ensure that the show is a successful one. The core members of the group are fully committed to this success. However, anyone who wishes to lend a hand are more than welcome. In fact, anyone who wishes to act, sing, dance or would love to take part in any other way, you’ll find the door will be open for you to take part. At this society, we like to think we give everyone a chance to shine whether they’ve had experience in the past or completely new.
